Application


  • Artificial elevation of glutathione contents in salicylic acid-deficient tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi NahG) reduces susceptibility to the powdery mildew pathogen Euoidium longipes.: This study explores the impact of enhanced glutathione levels on resistance to powdery mildew in tobacco plants deficient in salicylic acid, indicating a potential application of R-(−)-2-Oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid in managing plant diseases (Künstler et al., 2020).
